Report: Trump-Linked Crypto Products Cause Paper Losses for Investors of at Least $4.7 Billion
Public Citizen August 28 at PANeWS reported that
The American nonprofit for consumer rights published a report indicating that five types of Trump-related crypto products have caused paper losses for investors of at least $4.7 billion, even though most of these losses have not yet been realized. The report’s losses were broken down into: the TRUMP coin
n of about $3.2 billion, and a governance token
$1 billion, as well as Trump’s digital assets in the media treasury of about $450
million, and Trump’s trading cards (NFTs) no less than
$9.3 million, excluding losses from a stablecoin.
Public Citizen explained that the losses of $TRUMP and $MEME reflect, more than anything, the transfer of wealth to a small number of early buyers,
rather than the disappearance of value out of nowhere. The report also cited financial documents disclosed by Trump in June 2026 stating that he generated at least $1.4 billion from crypto businesses in 2025. The White House had previously stated that the President and his family would never be a party to a conflict of interest.
